Q&A with Brandon Sanchez

Q: You attended the Future Games in Georgia. When you left the event and headed back to Colorado, what was your overall impression of the event?

Sanchez: I personally loved the event. It was a great way to gain exposure and play with/against the best players around the country. In addition to being a great exposure tool, the event was very entertaining and fun, as well. 

Q: What has the recruiting process been like for you now and before the Future Games?

Sanchez: The Future Games definitely brought me some exposure that I did not have prior to the event. Prior to the event, I had no offers and after, I had gained an offer and more interest from other schools. 

Q: What was it like playing with some of the top talent in the nation at at the Future Games?

Sanchez: The event was a great experience. It was a good way to see where I compared to the best in the nation. In addition to allowing me to see what my competitors looked like, the event brought out my flaws and what I needed to do during the off-season to really amp up my game. 

Q: What are you most excited about for the ’22 high school season?

Sanchez: I am most excited about getting back on the diamond. After the event, I suffered an injury that set me back a couple months. During that time, I was able to really focus on what baseball meant to me and what I needed to do to fulfill my dreams in this sport. I am most excited to see where all that work will take me!

Q:  Who had the biggest impact on your baseball career?

Sanchez: My dad has definitely had the biggest impact on my baseball career. Not only did he introduce this amazing game, but he taught me his style of play. As a result of years of received coaching from him, I believe I really reflect his style of play and inherited his love and passion for the game. 

Q: Lastly, out of all the PBR events you have attended in your career, what has PBR meant to you during your time playing baseball in Colorado?

Sanchez: PBR has meant a great deal to players in Colorado. PBR offers a great tool for players to see where they compare to others. Personally, when I attend these events, I don’t look at it like it’s a make or break for college interest. I attend to see which areas my game has evolved and areas where I need to get better. These events really bring out the competitiveness in these Colorado players because we all want to see how everyone’s game has evolved. In the next coming PBR event, I am very excited to attend and see where my hard work will offer.
